# get_historic_data takes an array containing asset slugs, start and end date of the data.
# fill_na specifies if the DataFrame contains only dates the assets were traded, or every date
# in the specified date range. A dictionary containing a DataFrame for every is returned.
data = cryptoassetdata.get_historic_data(["ethereum"], "01/01/2017", "12/31/2017", fill_na=True)
ethereum = data['ethereum'].Open # Get open data from Ethereum
